What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Most of the times I ask for cheese melted on top of my rice and most of the time that happens but one time they diced up raw yellow cheese and then diced up the chicken so it was a strange and unnerving rice bowl"
"Oakes Cafe is where dreams come true… and hopes are renewed. Oakes Cafe, where the Pure Leaf Sweet Tea flows like water and the manressa breakfast burritos grow on trees."
"The coffee is really bad. The espresso drinks always come out burnt and bitter without fail. They so badly need a new espresso machine or something. I just tried their drip coffee and even that was burnt… come on"
"Its good food when its made right but unfortunately very hit or miss. They serve undercooked meat or just hilariously mess up certain dishes by not adding some ingredients."
"Food is mid, soda machine only has zero sugar and diet options???? Infantilizing, sometimes I want something with sugar thanks. My go to campus cafe because of where I work, but I wish there were more options and also that it was open on the weekends. Where are people supposed to eat on the weekends????"
"Just as a brief disclaimer, I've asked a bunch of people about where the best food is on the UCSC campus, and most people say that it changes year to year..."
